Best Genshin Impact dendro characters

Nahida wins 62% of its duels and tops the Genshin Impact ranking ahead of Tighnari.

The archon's dominance is clear: Nahida stands at 1339 ELO points, 79 points ahead of Tighnari in second place. That gap marks the sharpest divide in the ranking and underscores the community's preference for the dendro archon. Just behind Tighnari, Alhaitham sits at 1257 ELO with a 63% win rate across 138 duels, nearly matching the second position despite fewer matches. Emilie and Baizhu round out the top 5 at 1220 and 1193 ELO respectively. At the bottom, Kirara languishes at 1078 ELO with a 44% win rate, suggesting the community finds less appeal in certain dendro supports compared to the heavy-hitters at the top.

This ranking draws from 679 duels played by 38 voters across 9 contenders, last updated on 12 October 2026. The dendro roster may be smaller than other elements in the game, but the votes reveal sharp distinctions in player favorites.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
